May and June. Arizona and Utah

after finishing a month long project in early May, which was, shall we say, very strange, yes, very strange indeed...so anyway, after finishing that particular project i was off to arizona to record zack lind from jimmy eat world in the band's own tempe studio. zack had agreed to play drums on 3 new songs for benton paul.
the studio was great, the gear was great, zack was great, arizona - not my favorite. seriously, how do you people live there?

setup #1 in the studio

zack, benton and manager ryan wyler

setup #2 in the bands warehouse/storage area

back in utah, benton and scott johnson in for some keyboard overdubs

benton's 3 songs are now done and off to jeff rothschild for mixing. last week saw the start of a hymns record for DB. Libbie Linton, The Mollies, Kyle Henderson, Joshua James, Dustin Christensen, and many others will all be in to add their voices. Here's a photo from when Paul Jacobsen was in -


and finally two weeks ago my "new" u-67s arrived after many attempts to get them to Utah. I had really forgotten how amazing a good 67 can be. These are only 3 serial numbers apart and they are quite minty! They've been put to a lot of good use lately, including all of Benton's vocals.
